Sorry this is my third PS: I only was able to see the one anterior view of
the bird where it really does look like there is a orange band across the
chest like a parula, but the other photo of the bird in the leaves which I
did not notice or was unable to see on the Flickr page--but just found on
the eBird report) makes me agree with Tom Benson about the bird looking a
lot more like a yellowthroat.
